in India usurping Courts powers !
Adam Smith wrote about 200
+ years ago, in 'The Wealth of
Nations':
'The Natural effort of every
Individual to better his own
condition, when suffered to exert
itself with freedom and security is
so powerful a principle, that it is
alone without any assistance , not
only capable of carrying on the
society to wealth and prosperity,
but of surmounting a hundred
impertinent obstructions with
which the folly of human laws too
often encumbers the operations
through the effect of these
obstructions is always more or less
either to encroach upon the
freedom or to diminish security.'
(Vol.2.Book 4.Ch.5, p.126)
Liberty is natural effort of man.
Effort surfaces for freedom and
need for security. That is very
powerful instinct of man when he
is encumbered by hundred
impertinent obstructs to his need

of wealth and security.
Folly of human laws is that
they encumber the operations as
they encroach upon the freedom to
diminish security. So man needs
his own breath-ing space. He by
his own efforts only generates
wealth and security without
anybody's assistance he manages.
Improper governance means if
government makes him lazy, by its
unnecessary interventions which
he never really wanted at all.
Most of the major ills of the
world have been caused by well
meaning people who have ignored
the principle of individual freedom, except on applied to themselves and who were obsessed
with fanatical zeal to improve the
lot or mankind-in-the-many
through some pet formula of their
own. So, Henry Greedy Weaver in
his book 'The main spring of
Human progress wrote, further,
The harm done by ordinary
criminals, gangsters and thieves is
NEGLIGIBLE, in comparison
with agony inflicted upon human
beings by the professional - 'DoGooders' who attempt to set
themselves up on Gods on Earth
and who would ruthless force
their views on all others with
abiding assurance that end justifies
the means. (P. 40 -1P P N S P. 313)
That is exactly what modern
improper governance by government, is meant, today.
Americans traditionally followed Thomas Jefferson's advice on
relying on 'Individual Action' and
'Charity', as a better way.

Result is fewer (no) cases of
genuine hardship per capita than
any other country in the entire
world or even throughout the
history. Even during 1930 depression Americans ate and lived better
than any other people in the
countries of world.
What is wrongful of 'Little
socialism ?
'Little bit' of Socialism is like
'little bit of theft', or a 'little bit of
cancer is alright!
History proves growth of
welfare State is difficult to check
before it comes to full flavor of
'Socialistic Dictatorship'.
That is what Thomas (from
Florida USA) wrote in his leader,
last fortnight, in Sunny News,
published from Mumbai, in India,
that 'Janatha Durbar' is nothing
short but a 'dictatorial action' of
Ministers in India, usurping powers of regular courts; and he
suggested that the Constitutional
Courts do take 'Suo Motu' action in
India against these extra constitutional 'courts' which pass judgments and immediately the Executive takes action even putting the
accused into jails for years too, if
that man does not compromise
with the arbitrary authority.
Without normal Courts intervention, the poor accused in durbar
is just doomed, and so he said in
his article that it is to be treated (
his article) as basic Writ petition.
And these kinds of Janatha
Durbars are indeed 'Cancerously
arbitrary' to Indian Society, that
too in democratic India, as

POMEGRANATE
KEEPS YOU YOUNG

D

aily consumption of pomegranate, the fruit that has been
hailed as a super food for centuries, can help you stay young
by slowing down the ageing process of DNA, a new study has
revealed.
The fruit, now known as the elixir of youth, also plays a role in
fighting heart diseases,
relieving stress and improv
ing one`s sex life.
The study encompassed
60 volunteers, who were
given extracts of the whole
fruit, including pith, peel
and seeds for a month in the
form of a capsule.
The researchers kept a
check on the activity of
chemicals in their bodies and compared it to those who took a
placebo.
The study revealed that there was a considerable decrease in the
marker, called 8-Oxo-DG, linked with cell damage, which can cause
impaired brain, muscle, liver and kidney function as well as ageing
effects on the skin.
According to the researchers at Probelte Bio laboratory in Murcia,
Spain, this decrease - a hitherto unknown benefit of consuming
pomegranate - is thought to slow down the oxidation, or `rusting`, of
the DNA in cells which naturally occurs over time, the Daily Mail
reported. They are found in small quantities in the juice but mainly in
the inedible rind, husk and white pith, which are converted in the form
of a pill or a drink.

STOP FOOLING PEOPLE,
BE MATURED !
I

t has been a strange obsession for successive governments to frame charges against
political rivals on flimsy grounds
in Kerala. None of the politicians
are able to behave in a matured
manner even though most of them
are senior citizens.
The current case of the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau
slapping corruption case against
V.S. Achuthanandan is an example
of how politicians take revenge
against opposition when they
come to power. The FIR filed in
the vigilance court at Kozhikode
has charged him with conspiracy,
cheating and destruction of
evidence under the Prevention of
Corruption Act and Indian Penal
Code, punishable up to seven
years of jail. Following these allegations, the veteran leader has
offered to resign as Leader of
Opposition in Kerala Assembly.
This case does not come as a
surprise to anyone as Achuthanandan also had pursued several cases
against UDF leaders when he was
in power.
Agencies like the Vigilance
and Anti-Corruption Bureau have
been used as tools according to
their convenience by senior
politicians who are in power. The
officials of these agencies also
have learnt to adjust themselves to
these situations very well. They
would turn with the political tide
as and when the scenario changes
and would set themselves with the
ministry for their own survival. In
the case of Kerala, it is easier for

the officials as they know that they
have to support alternate parties
every five years.
Politicians like V. S. Achuthanandan and Oommen Chandy
often forget that they have been
chief ministers of the most literate
state in India. Unlike one of the
northern states, where the chief
minister gets appreciated even
after erecting her own statue
through out the state spending
public money, people in Kerala are
supposed to be more sensible and
would not allow such foolish
things to happen. However,
tolerating repeated display of such
cheap politics by these so called
veterans at the cost of public
money is very unfortunate and it is
difficult to understand the
tolerance level of the people of
Kerala. It appears they are keeping
quite as they have no choice now.
But, if these veterans feel that they
have been able to fool the people
with their stupid acts, they have
mistaken.
It is time both the veterans of
Kerala politics take time and
review the consequences of the
palmolene case, Kunjalikutty's
ice-cream parlour case or the
Lavlin case! The leaders as well as
the people of this country very
well know the outcome of the so
called enquiries that take place
after spending so much of time and
public money. It's time the
political veterans in Kerala stop
fooling people and start behaving
in a matured manner.

Now, a device that hears termites chew !
S

cientists have come up
with a new wireless device
which they claim can detect the
presence of termites by “hearing”
them chew through timber.
A team at Edith Cowan University says that the sensitive device,
called wireless smart probe
(Wispr) network for acoustic
detection, is also capable of locating termite activity in timber
bridges and wooden power poles.
And, once detected, the device can
immediately send an SMS or email
to a pest control firm with the
termites' GPS location - so they
can take appropriate action to
protect the property. The developers are looking to commercialise
the device in the next 12 months in
Australia and say that it has
potential to revolutionise the pest
control industry.
Prof Adam Osseiran said the
technology consists of a tiny
sensor much smaller than a
fingernail which is attached to a
piece of wood and placed around

the house or retro-fitted to existing
termite stations.
It's a wireless acoustic sensor
that listens and recognizes the
acoustic 'signature' of termite
chewing on your house. You
would need about 20 devices
placed every few meters around a
house and they would be continuously listening and monitoring
and providing an effective shield
against termite attacks,” he said.
When placed in the ground, wispr
can instantly detect termites or, if
none are present, can serve as an
early warning device if termites
ever attack a pole, it could
immediately send a signal to
maintenance staff.
Or by driving past bridges,
council staff could 'interrogate' the
device and find out about the
health of the bridges, or poles,
while they are driving. That could
be done by a Smart phone application, which is something we are
working on,” he said.

to the arrested person and he has
the right of choice of a lawyer. The
accused may refuse to have a
lawyer but the court has to provide

JUDICIARY AS CUSTODIAN OF CONSTITUTION
- Did Supreme Court behave so ?
(This article is written for
benefit of all concerned, as even
many educated people, including
legal luminaries in India is not
aware that the Supreme Court as
Judiciary is the custodian of
constitution. Otherwise they
could have questioned )
When I was talking to a CA and
I asked him why Constitutional
Courts are called Custodian of
Constitution, he said when the
constitution of India is in place
why the Constitutional Courts
should be the Custodian of
Constitution.
He later confessed that he does
not know which arm is custodian
of constitution. In fact, but for
Constitutional Courts who else
will uphold the Constitutional
rights of people as citizens of India
question arises. WHEN IT FAILS
WHAT SOLUTION IS TO BE?
CAN THERE BE JUDICIAL
REVIEW BY FULL BENCH OF
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA?,
is the question emanating.
If the statutory authorities like
legislatures run by elected representatives (not necessarily
knowing the Constitution of India
mostly) bring in legislation(s)
sponsored by government in
power, and the government
departments and ministries fail to
protect your fundamental rights as
a citizen, on the basis of some
statutes passed in legislatures
where the citizen will go to assert
his fundamental rights, is the main
and major question surfacing.
For example CIDCO, a town
planning authority in Maharashtra
or any such authority in Indian
State or any town planning
authority / a Panchayat or a Municipality, as town planning authority take away your land or site or
house or flat, by the Panchayat or

Municipal Resolution to take away
from a citizen his right to property,
saying government passed a
statute to take away personal
property of a law abiding citizen
without compensation commensurate, how he will get justice in
terms of Constitution of India in
the case of India?
All will say 'go to Court' but if
Court does not have a right or
abdicated under the hijacked
constitution to resolve the dispute
between parties – petitioner affected and King or Government on the
'usurped' the property, an individual right? WHAT IS THE FATE ?
And court does not have a
settled procedure as per an approved Constitution by a Constituent
Assembly of peoples, in the case of
India by 1947, since mangled by
Article 368 there will be just chaos
in the Country-Nation called
India. What transpires by this
question, there should be one
authority entrusted with that
power to interpret the statute
concerned at the anvils of Constitution? That is the supposed to
be Custodian judiciary.
The moment President Jefferson in USA questioned C. J. Mr.
Warren's power of US Supreme
Court, though Mr. Marshall himself being his nephew asked whether constitution of America specifically said Judiciary cannot ques-

tion the improprieties of President
of United States. But Warren
passed a careful judgement in
Marbury V. Madison. President
could do nothing about, that is
American Judiciary preeminence.
As citizen is the most important component of Sovereignty of
United States, it is the responsibility of Judiciary to interfere with
government's high handed action,
in Marbury V Madison.
So Due process of Law is the
important component under
Separation of powers of Montesquieu. Though Indian Constitution did not completely take that
separation of powers but yet it is
clearly accepted and hence there is
the position of custodian of
constitution of India.
Actually Dr B R Ambedkar
clearly stated India will follow
most recent and best Constitution
of the World, that is American
Constitution though India will
have both components of British
Constitution as also American
constitution by having Parliamentary System of Britain of Unitary
form as also Federal System of
USA and that combination is
needed to curb absolute powers of
politicians in favor of people as
India is having a Written Constitution unlike Britain and also India
will have American Federal
system in Emergencies, as Liberty
and Equality and Natural Justice
are the basic tenets of Indian
constitution.
Truly speaking Indian Constitution had originally 365 Articles.
How could Art 366 just steal its
way in ?
Individual rights is still a
causality in India, as Indian legal
system, as yet not fully asserted its
powers.

Seven convicted in human sacrifice case

I

n a case of human sacrifice, the Additional Sessions judge of Vasai court
sentenced seven people to five
years rigorous imprisonment
and a fine of Rs. 3000 each. The
heinous crime was committed
on15th October 2010 at Nalasopara, a distant suburb of
Mumbai on the western line.
The judgment was pronounced
a year and three months later
which is rather quick by present
standards.
In October, 2010, the police
had arrested a Nalasopara couple, Vishal Jaiswal, (35) and
wife Rita (25) along with six
others of the family for killing
the couple's children, 5 year old
Om and 3 year old Ritika.
Additional Sessions judge R.M
Joshi awarded an extra one year
imprisonment to Vishal Jadhav,
the father of the slain children
for concealing information and
misguiding the police.
Vishal, his wife Rita, father
Sachalal, mother Sumita,
brothers Sanjay, Dinesh, Satish
and his wife Dolly were arrested
from their Jai Matadi apartment
in Oswal Nagar, Nalasopara
(East ) on the 16th of October,
2010. Only Sumita was acquitted by the court for lack of
evidence.
According to the police,
Dolly, 23, wife of Satish Jaiswal,
25, was the brain behind the
murders. She claimed to have
divine powers. She used to
actively participate in pujas and
was able to convince the family
that she knew black magic as
well.
Dolly could not get along
with her sister-in-law Renu
(wife of Sanjay Jaiswal). She
convinced the family members
that Renu couldn't conceive
because she had been possessed
by a spirit and needed to be
cured. Thereafter the other
members started torturing Renu
and they even branded her arms
and feet besides tonsuring her.
Things came to such a pass that

she herself started to believe that
she was possessed.
Around 8-30 pm on Friday, the
15th October 2010, the Jaiswals
returned home after attending a
Durga puja. It was then that Dolly
convinced them that the spirit
which had possessed Renu had
now travelled from her to the
children. She told the family that
if they wanted to prosper in life,
the children would have to be
cured as well.
In a horrible ritual of exorcism,
the two children were thrown
down on the floor and the rest of
the family was instructed to hold
down their hands and legs. Dolly
then trampled on the children. The
kids died of violent throttling
according to the post mortem
report.
When the kids stopped
moving, Dolly panicked and asked
Vishal to take them to a tantrik.
She said the kids were
unconscious. When Vishal didn't
find the tantric at home, he rushed
the kids to a doctor who sensed
foul play. He informed the police
and did not let Vishal leave till the
cops arrived. On learning about
the incident, top police officers
rushed to the spot. They found
human hair, lemons, red powder,
camphor etc in the house. Strange,
to say, Dolly was a convent
educated girl and had a love
marriage with Satish.
The public prosecutor Uj-wala
Mohalkar said that she was happy
with the judgment since all the
seven accused had been sent to jail.
But she added that it was a light
punishment and she would go in
appeal to the high court for
enhancement of the sentence.
In a different case, the Bombay
High Court handed over the probe
into a suspected child sacrifice to
the CID, Crime branch, Mumbai.
Justice Ajay Khanwilkar directed
the crime branch to investigate
whether the death of a 3 year old
girl in Borivili was a child
sacrifice. The HC order came in
the wake of a forensic and crime
scene investigation expert Roma
Khan which suggested that the girl
was a victim of child sacrifice.
The girl's skeletal remains were
found at a construction site in
Borivili two months after she had
gone missing.
In another case, on 9th
October, 2011, the body of a 7 year

politicians have made Indian
democracy as a great mockery.
I know Indian Courts may not,
as they go by governments just
because many of these judges
expect sinecure of an office from
governments after their retirements! So a 'little bit of theft' of
Courts power is done by Ministers
in Janatha Durbhar is indeed with
impunity as it is these 'Janatha
Durbars' are a 'little bit of cancer'
growth in India. These are some
kind of Beer Bars where anything
can happen with police protection
not to the accused.
Will really Indian Constitutional Courts take cognizance of
this great Indian 'Janatha Durbars',
probably we cannot say in any
certain terms, if there in India
there is still surviving democratic

What World Wars wanted
to avoid is again perhaps surfacing
thanks to new political breeds,
surfacing by surreptitious way
perhaps. Thomas Jefferson in his
inaugural speech in 1801 said,
'With all the blessings what
more is necessary to make us a
happy and prosperous people, still
one thing more, fellow citizens - a
wise
and frugal government
which shall restrain men from
injuries to one another, which shall

old boy was found near the BSF
head quarters at Praharinagar in
Meghalaya's Tura. It was allegedly a case of human sacrifice to
appease the gods.
Krishna
Singh, a student of class 2 who
went to offer prayers with his
brother, disappeared from the
temple and all attempts to trace
him failed. The next morning,
his mutilated body was found in
a bush behind the BSF head
quarters. The killer, whowas
suspected to be a 'tantrik' was
believed to have used a sharp
object repeatedly to fork the
boy's body in a satanic form of
ritual. The needle of suspicion
pointed to a self styled god man
who was seen inside the campus
and had vanished soon after the
incident.
Yet another incident that
happened on the same day, 9th
October, 2011, was reported in
the press. A 7 year old girl was
offered as a sacrifice in Ballia
district of UP, after a witch
doctor advised her neighbours
that their marital relations could
improve after the ritual.
According to police reports,
Usha Sharma, a resident of
Sehdeswa village abducted 7
year old Beenu, daughter of
Avadesh Kumar and strangulated her to death while performing
a series of rituals before the idols
in her house. Usha adorned the
victim with flowers, vermilion
and other puja items before
killing her and later dumped the
body outside the village. Usha
was picked up by the police for
interrogation and she later broke
down and confessed to the
crime.
There would certainly be
many more cases, some of which
would not have even been
reported. It is deplorable that
even in this age of internet and
electronics, most dangerous
kinds of superstitions are
prevalent in the country. Only
an enlightened society can put an
end to the heinous crimes that
are committed by tantriks,
exorcists and others of their ilk.

is to extend our support to the

Samities and others who are
engaged in the fight against
superstitious beliefs.

Henry David Thoreau explained: 'The government never of itself
furthered any enterprise, but by
alacrity with which it got out of the
way. IT does not educate. The
character inherent in American
people has done all that has been
accomplished and it would have
done some what more if the
government had not some times

NAVI MUMBAI - NEWS
Doctor Arrived 40 minutes late
Navi Mumbai:
In yet
another road mishap involv-ing a
school bus, five students were
left injured after the vehicle
collided head-on with a speeding
tempo. Of the five wounded
students, Rajesh Chavan, son of
N D Chavan, DCP, Mumbai
police, has sustained grievous injuries. Initially the injured students
were rushed to Dr. D.Y. Patil college, Nerul. However it is alleged
that the Doctor could not attend the injured students even after 40
minutes of admission. Subsequently Rajesh was rushed to MGM
Hospital in Vashi. The impact of the collision was such that one of the
emergency exit doors at the rear end of the bus gave away and the
children were hurled out of the vehicle. The accident has once again
brought the school bus safety issue into the limelight, as the bus that
belonged to Fr Agnel Multipurpose School in Vashi, has reportedly
flouted safety norms prescribed by the state government.
Disaster strikes
The accident occurred around 6.45 am, when the bus driver
Yadavrao Killi (38), misjudged the flow of traffic on the opposite side
and took a U-turn near Nerul Flyover on the Sion-Panvel Highway. It
was here that the bus collided head-on with a tempo that was on its
way to Pune.

Hartal at V. K. Trans Engineering
V.K.S.Menon
V.K.Trans Engineering having their office at Vashi Plaza, Vashi,
has not paid the daily wages since 22 days as a result of which more
than 25 labourers have assembled in front of the office for Hartal. Mr.
Babu Rao, the MD of V. K. Trans Engineering was not available at his
office.
It is understood
that V.K.Trans Engineering has taken the
labour contract for
civil work of Hindustan Petroleum at
Turbhe. The labourers were employed
on a daily wages
basis with a salary of
Rs. 500/- plus free
accommodation and
put up in a chawl at Gandhi Nagar, Nerul. However, they were thrown
out as the owner has not paid rental for the chawl which comes to
Rs. 9,000/- or so.
“We are starving for the last 22 days as we have not yet received
our wages nor food” as told to Sunny News by Rajesh Sharma, one of
the labourers. They also allege that Mr. Babu Rao is threatening them
that police complaint will be lodged if they don't disburse within a
short time. We will not leave the office premises unless and until we
get all our dues, says the labourers.

Students create traffic awareness
The Rabale traffic unit observed road safety week by organising a
road safety patrol (RSP) rally for over 300 school students from
Airoli and informed them about traffic rules and regulation. Later in
the afternoon the traffic unit took students to Vidyavihar Children
Traffic Training Park. The students displayed posters and raised
slogans on the importance of following traffic rules to maintain
safety on roads.
American Philosophy:
Economic security for all is
impossible without wide spread
abundance. Abundance is impossible without industrious and
efficient production. Such plan is
impossible; without energetic,
willing, and eger labor. This is not
possible without incentive. Of all
forms of incentives - freedom to
attain a reward for one's labor is
the most sustaining for most
people. Sometimes called is 'The
profit Motive.' It is simply the right
plan; and to earn and enjoy the
fruits of your own Labor'. Profit
motive diminishes as government
compels regulation and Taxes
increase to deny the fruits of
success to those who produce.
Therefore, any attempt thro-

ugh governmental intervention to
redistribute material rewards of
labor can again result in eventual
destruction of production of productive bases of society, without
which real abundance and security
more than the ruling elite is quite
impossible. Government cannot
create wealth. No Government in
the History of Mankind has ever
creat-ed wealth.
PEOPLE WHO WORK
ONLY CREATE WEALTH.
James R Evans in his book, 'The
Glorious Quest', gives a simple
illustration of Legalized Plunder.
Assume we were farmers and
that 'we received a letter from
Government'. It tells - that 'we are
going to get a thousand $ this year

Navi Mumbai airport venture to
trigger race among corp biggies
T

he Navi Mumbai airport
venture will trigger a race
among corporate biggies when the
government calls for bids in early
2011 for setting up what will be the
largest greenfield airport project
since the privatisation exercise
began in 2006.
Existing airport operators like
GVK and GMR, along with
construction firms like HCC and
Essel Infra, which missed out on
earlier projects, are expected to bid
for the Rs 9,800-crore airport
venture. City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO),
the project promoter, is likely to
call for bids in April-May of 2011.
The GVK-led consortium,
which is currently operating the
Mumbai airport and also has the
right of first refusal (RoFR), will
not want a competitor within 150
kms of the existing airport. "The
Mumbai International Airport
(MIAL) has a RoFR for Navi
Mumbai and we will look forward
to participating in the bidding
process when it is announced by
the government,".
However, the RoFR does not
guarantee that the project will go

developer invites engineering and
construction bids.
Other players that are likely to
join the race are Gammon Infrastructure and IL&FS. A year ago,
Gammon Infrastructure was
scout-ing for partners in the
international market to bid for
international airport projects.
Construction firm HCC said it will
take time to take a decision. "For
us, evaluation of the project alone
will cost about Rs 10 crore. We
want to see the returns the project
will bring before deciding on the
bid," said a company insider.

to GVK. "GVK's bid cannot be
less than 10% of the highest bid as
per the clause in RoFR agreement," said an aviation expert with
a leading consulting firm. The
bidding terms are expected to be
similar to those that had been set
for the Delhi and Mumbai airport
ventures; some of the criteria for

But rather than a normal

Smith and so down the line.
And these men would make
our farm subsidy.

That is what India's MNREG

An L&T official said that the
company's interest will depend on
the possible return that such an
investment will generate and the
risks involved. "This will be the
first time there will be a second
airport in the same city. Any bidder
will have to estimate the traffic that
the new airport will attract....It's
not a simple project. Besides, it
will be capital-intensive," said the
person. L&T is open to participating at the next stage, after the

construction companies that have
undertaken privatisation of Mumbai, Delhi and other airports are
homegrown. If they get the right
operator as a partner, new entrants
will be keen to bid. But we see

"It will be interesting if the
Tatas, through Tata Airport Development Company, also decide to
bid," said a senior analyst tracking
infrastructure.
ADA Group promoted Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra) is
also keen to participate in bidding
for international airports and Navi
Mumbai is one project it may be
interested in. The company
refused to comment on the subject.
It is already a significant player in
the development of non-metro
airport projects in the country.
R-Infra's earlier attempts to bid
for Delhi and Mumbai airports fell

comment on the story, but aviation
experts said that the engineering
and construction conglomerate has
